Fish (\u003cem\u003eGarra rufa\u003c\/em\u003e), also known as the Pedicure Fish, is popular in more than just the aquarium hobby.  It is famous for its ability to graze on dead skin cells on humans, so it is used in many clinics that treat psoriasis and other human skin problems.  In these clinics, patients dip their limbs into the water and the Doctor Fish swarm to graze on the patient’s dead skin.  In the aquarium, this fish is an interesting scavenger and grazer that is compatible with a variety of tankmates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eA member of the Cyprinidae family, the Doctor Fish inhabits most of the cooler freshwater areas of the Mediterranean and Middle East regions.  It prefers very oxygen-rich, fast-flowing water and will often swim directly against the current of a filter output or powerhead.  Very fast water flow is a key to success in keeping this fish.  Another key to success is a secure lid or canopy on the aquarium, as this fish is a skilled jumper and climber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThe Doctor Fish will graze on biofilm that grows on driftwood, rocks, and plants, so it is an excellent

its diet, so the Doctor Fish should not be added to new or biologically immature aquariums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:

well-maintained, mature aquarium with good biofilm and algae growth as well as high water flow, the Panda Loach is a hardy and entertaining fish.  It will not bother aquarium plants.  In fact,

tankmates for the Panda Loach.  Since they inhabit similar waterways, many smaller freshwater goby species are ideal tankmates as well.  Due to its small size and diet, the Panda Loach can also be kept with dwarf shrimp, although it might eat a few of their fry.  Dwarf shrimp are particularly good tankmates in larger aquariums where they can find areas of lower water flow.  Peaceful bottom-dwelling fish are also a possibility, but care must be taken to make sure that the Panda Loach is not outcompeted for food.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:

While its limited wild populations are in decline and nationally protected, this fish has fairly recently been farmed on a commercial level in the United States. In addition to its very attractive appearance, this beautiful loach is also highly desired due to its extremely active and outgoing personality as well as its relative adaptability. This is a fairly rare species and it is one of the few traditionally-shaped loach\/botia species that can be considered a “nano” fish that is appropriate for heavily-planted aquariums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThe Dwarf Chain Loach is an omnivorous micropredator requiring a diet of meaty foods regularly supplemented with vegetable and fruit matter. It will often accept high quality dry foods, but its diet should also include regular offerings of live\/frozen meaty foods of invertebrate origin. It also eats a fair amount of vegetable or fruit matter, so these items should be offered in sparing amounts on a regular basis. \u003cstrong\u003eThere are some reports that the Dwarf Chain Loach may occasionally eat soft leaf plants, so care should be taken to observe this fish when adding it to an aquarium with such plants. It is not known to bother more durable plants with heavier leaves, such as \u003cem\u003eAnubias\u003c\/em\u003e, Java Fern, Moneywort, and most mosses, among many other plants. In most cases, the Dwarf Chain Loach will not do significant damage to well-established plants in a larger aquarium as long as it is well-fed, including regular, but sparing vegetable and fruit matter in its diet.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThe aquarium of the Dwarf Chain Loach should include plenty of plants, rockwork, and driftwood. Plenty of cover is necessary for this species and will ensure the most activity and least stress. The Dwarf Chain Loach is an active species that also needs plenty of clear room in the aquarium for swimming and exploring. It exhibits a very sophisticated schooling behavior and social hierarchy where each individual species constantly strives to be the “leader of the school” by swimming to the front of the group. While this behavior may seem aggressive, it generally involves no real fighting and results in an exceptional level of activity. As long as the school includes at least 6-8 specimens, aggression or bullying within the school will be minimal or nonexistent. However, if the Dwarf Chain Loach is kept solitarily or in too small of a group, it can become withdrawn or aggressive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThe Dwarf Chain Loach will thrive in a planted aquarium with very clean, well-maintained, high-oxygen water of moderate or high water flow and is generally peaceful with other species of fish, although its boisterous nature can be stressful to other very passive fish. It is an excellent tankmate for most rasboras, tetras, danios, livebearers, and other schooling fish that inhabit the middle and upper levels of the water column. In a spacious tank, it can also be kept with other bottom-dwelling fish that are not too timid or prone to be outcompeted at feeding time. \u003cstrong\u003eThe Dwarf Chain Loach, like most typical loaches, often preys on tiny shrimp and snails. This is very useful in helping reduce “pest snails,” but must also be considered with larger ornamental snails and shrimp. While The Dwarf Chain Loach is not likely to directly prey on larger Mystery, Nerite, Trapdoor, and other snails, it may incessantly harass them, especially in a smaller tank. This can cause extreme stress and starvation in the snails over time. Please exercise care and observation if you are considering keeping the Dwarf Chain Loach with ornamental snails or shrimp.

Like the well-known hillstream loaches, this loach is native to shallow, clear, fast-flowing waters and it is sensitive to declines in water quality, so regular aquarium maintenance and maximum oxygen saturation are absolutely necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2103\" data-start=\"1269\"\u003eThe Reticulated Hillstream Loach is primarily a biofilm and algae grazer in nature. It is known to usually accept frozen meaty foods, but such foods should only be fed occasionally. This fish will also sometimes accept high-quality dry foods that are rich in plant matter, but it is absolutely essential that biofilm and algae are naturally available in the aquarium to ensure its long-term health or else it may slowly starve. As long as it is kept in a well-maintained, mature aquarium with good biofilm and algae growth as well as high water flow, the Reticulated Hillstream Loach is a hardy and entertaining fish. It will not bother aquarium plants. In fact, Anubias species are an excellent plant to keep with this loach because Anubias can foster significant biofilm\/algae growth in an aquarium with moderate to high lighting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2958\" data-start=\"2105\"\u003eThe Reticulated Hillstream Loach is a very social species, so it should be kept in groups of 6 or more. Most small rasboras, tetras, hillstream loaches, and other small, peaceful fish are good tankmates for the Reticulated Hillstream Loach, although this species can sometimes bully other hillstream loaches in smaller aquariums. Since they inhabit similar waterways, many smaller freshwater goby species are ideal tankmates as well. Due to its small size and diet, the Reticulated Hillstream Loach can also be kept with dwarf shrimp, although it might eat a few of their fry. Dwarf shrimp are particularly good tankmates in larger aquariums where they can find areas of lower water flow. Other peaceful bottom-dwelling fish are also a possibility, but care must be taken to make sure that the Reticulated Hillstream Loach is not outcompeted for food.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-end=\"2963\" data-start=\"2960\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"3202\" data-start=\"2965\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"3202\" data-start=\"2965\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"2998\" data-start=\"2965\"\u003eWhat We Like About This Fish:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"3001\" data-start=\"2998\"\u003e• Beautiful coloration\u003cbr data-end=\"3026\" data-start=\"3023\"\u003e• Generally peaceful disposition with fish and peaceful invertebrates\u003cbr data-end=\"3098\" data-start=\"3095\"\u003e• Interesting, active social behavior when kept in colonies\u003cbr data-end=\"3160\" data-start=\"3157\"\u003e• Generally safe with adult dwarf shrimp\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-end=\"3207\" data-start=\"3204\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"3456\" data-start=\"3209\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"3456\" data-start=\"3209\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"3241\" data-start=\"3209\"\u003eRECOMMENDED TANK PARAMETERS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"3244\" data-start=\"3241\"\u003eTemperature: 68° – 75° F (20° – 23.9° C).

It lives in areas of little plant foliage, but it will be completely at home in a heavily planted tank as long as oxygenation and water flow are consistently high. Plenty of cover is necessary for this species and will ensure the most activity, best coloration, and least stress. The Serpent Loach is an exceptionally active species that also needs plenty of clear room in the aquarium for swimming and exploring. It exhibits a very sophisticated schooling behavior and social hierarchy where each individual species constantly strives to be the “leader of the school” by swimming to the front of the group. While this behavior may seem aggressive, it generally involves no real fighting and results in an exceptional level of activity. As long as the school includes at least 6-8 specimens, aggression or bullying within the school will be minimal or nonexistent. However, if the Serpent Loach is kept solitaryily or in too small of a group, it can become withdrawn or aggressive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Serpent Loach will thrive in a planted aquarium with very clean, well-maintained, high-oxygen water of moderate to high water flow and is generally peaceful with other species of fish, although its boisterous nature can be stressful to other exceptionally passive fish in smaller tanks. It is an excellent tankmate for most rasboras, tetras, danios, livebearers, and other schooling fish and larger invertebrates (such as Amano Shrimp, Bamboo and Green Lace Shrimp, Vampire Shrimp) that inhabit the middle and upper levels of the water column. In a spacious tank, it can also be kept with other bottom-dwelling fish that are not too timid to be outcompeted at feeding time. \u003cstrong\u003eThe Serpent Loach, like most typical loaches, often preys on tiny worms, shrimp, and snails. This is very useful in helping reduce “pest snails,” but must also be considered with ornamental snails and shrimp. While the Serpent Loach is not likely to directly prey on larger Mystery, Nerite, Trapdoor, and other snails, it may incessantly harass them in a smaller tank. This can cause extreme stress and starvation in the harassed snails over time. Please exercise care and observation if you are considering keeping the Serpent Loach with ornamental snails or shrimp. We do not recommend keeping this fish with dwarf shrimp, and we recommend caution in keeping it with larger shrimp in a smaller tank.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Serpent Loach is a truly magnificent highlight of the aquarium under the right conditions.

Named for its juvenile color pattern that appears to spell \"Yo Yo,\" this species is a very active, inquisitive fish that is very gregarious in nature. As it matures, its black and gold coloration develops into a more complex, reticulated maze-like pattern. It is compatible with many other fish and plants as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThe Yo-Yo Loach is an omnivorous species requiring a diet of meaty foods regularly supplemented with vegetable and fruit matter. It will often accept high quality dry foods, but its diet should also include regular offerings of live\/frozen meaty foods of invertebrate origin. It also eats a fair amount of vegetable or fruit matter, so these items should be offered in sparing amounts on a regular basis. \u003cstrong\u003eThere are some reports that the Yo-Yo Loach may occasionally eat soft leaf plants, so care should be taken to observe this fish when adding it to an aquarium with such plants. It is not known to bother more durable plants with heavier leaves, such as \u003cem\u003eAnubias\u003c\/em\u003e, Java Fern, Moneywort, and most mosses, among many other plants. In most cases, the Yo-Yo Loach will not do significant damage to well-established plants in a larger aquarium as long as it is well-fed, including regular, but sparing vegetable and fruit matter in its diet.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThe aquarium of the Yo-Yo Loach should include plenty of plants, rockwork, and driftwood for it to explore. Plenty of cover is necessary for this species and will ensure the most activity and least stress. The Yo-Yo Loach is an active species that also needs plenty of clear room in the aquarium for swimming and exploring. It exhibits a very sophisticated schooling behavior and social hierarchy where each individual species constantly strives to be the “leader of the school” by swimming to the front of the group. While this behavior may seem aggressive, it generally involves no real fighting and results in an exceptional level of activity. As long as the school includes at least 6-8 specimens, aggression or bullying within the school will be minimal or nonexistent. However, if the Yo-Yo Loach is kept solitarily or in too small of a group, it can become withdrawn or aggressive. It will sometimes jump from the water, so a secure lid is necessary for its aquarium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThe Yo-Yo Loach will thrive in an aquarium with very clean, well-maintained, high-oxygen water of moderate or high water flow and is generally peaceful with other species of fish, although its boisterous nature can be stressful to other very passive fish. It is an excellent tankmate for most rasboras, tetras, danios, livebearers, and other schooling fish that inhabit the middle and upper levels of the water column. In a spacious tank, it can also be kept with other bottom-dwelling fish that are not too timid or prone to be outcompeted at feeding time. \u003cstrong\u003eThe Yo-Yo Loach, like most typical loaches, often preys on tiny shrimp and snails. This is very useful in helping reduce “pest snails,” but must also be considered with larger ornamental snails and shrimp. The Yo-Yo Loach is a predator of many invertebrates.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThe Yo-Yo Loach is a truly entertaining highlight of the aquarium under the right conditions.

tankmates as well.  Due to its small size and diet, the Butterfly Hillstream Loach can also be kept with dwarf shrimp, although it might eat a few of their fry.  Dwarf shrimp are particularly good

While the Sumatran Neon Loach can acclimate to neutral or slightly alkaline water over time, it should at first be kept in acidic water that is less than 7.0 pH.
